Liz at Fons and Porter says, after you rip out three time and you still are not happy, throw away and start over because the block is stretched and is not going to work. Yesterday I sewed right side to wrong side, ripped out and sewing again and did the same thing again. Ripped out and sewed the whole thing again with no thread in the bobbin. I am a newbie, only been sewing 50 years. LOL Happy Quilting
